The League charges SBA is withholding information that would identify large companies posing as small ones to receive federal contracts. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, SBA said it does not have the names of firms it reported as small businesses in 2004.

"I am confident the information we obtain will prove the SBA and the GSA have diverted billions in small business contracts to Fortune 1000 companies," said ASBL President Lloyd Chapman. "It's unacceptable that we have to go to court over and over just to get the most basic information from the SBA. Clearly they are trying to hide damaging information."

During the past twelve months, the ASBL has won two Freedom of Information cases against SBA. The League says a federal court ordered the government to pay its legal fees totaling more than $54,000.
